This year the Dental Birthday Ball was formal due to it being the 100th Birthday. It was the best Birthday Ball I have been to yet.

The food was delicious. The H'orderves, so yummy - the best bruschetta I have had in awhile. After mingling for awhile we sat down to enjoy our 5 course meal. I had vichyssoise for the first time. I like cold potato soup. Jason didn't enjoy it, but enjoyed the fact that it would have been even more uncomfortable in his jacket with hot soup.

The committee did a fantastic job of decorating and providing entertainment. The tooth ice sculpture was a nice touch. The entertainment was Eisa Dancers (more to come on that). If you remember the opening ceremony from the Beijing Olympics with all the drummers. It is like that, but a smaller scale. It is so cool to feel those drums and watch them dance.

Part of the formalities of a Military Ball include toasts after the meal. There are nine toasts, Jason was asked to do the toast for Family Members. This is the only toast that you provide the one to two sentences yourself, the others are scripted. He was fantastic and looked smashing in his Dress Whites.

Here are some pictures of Jason and co-workers, and one with a friend and I.

This blog has two purposes: 1-to be a journal for my family and 2-to highlight things that inspire me as a wife, mother, sister, daughter, and a member of society. That is why it is Micah C (I see things) Micah Do (and then I try to do them).
